Avi Loeb Alleges Lockheed Martin Executive Confirmed Crash Retrievals

7/4/2026

The head of Donald Trump's UAP Science Advisory Council, Harvard astronomer turned ufologist Avi Loeb, claimed that a former Lockheed Martin executive confirmed the recovery of crashed flying saucers. Speaking on the Fresh Freedom podcast of Congressional UFO enthusiast Rep. Eric Burlison, Loeb claimed that the revelation occurred when the former executive visited Loeb's house for a casual UFO chat, as one does. “I had a [former] high level executive from Lockheed Martin visit my home and I asked him, ‘Is there any truth to these claims?’ And he said ‘It’s not wrong,'” Loeb told Burlison. Of course, that is no proof, and we already know from declassified documents that the Department of Defense and defense contractors had programs that worked to retrieve crashed Soviet technology, so it is entirely possible that the ex-Lockheed official was merely referring to these efforts rather than alien spaceships. Loeb did not name the former executive, of course, because that might have led to accountability and action, and we cannot have that.

The encounter apparently yielded nothing of value since Loeb said it occurred many years ago, and Loeb never bothered to mention it, nor apparently to provide any information to Congress about it.

I will add that it is kind of crazy how many high-ranking people show up at Loeb's house for a hang. He has repeatedly claimed that government officials and powerful business leaders randomly come to call at his house, and it's a bit baffling why they show up like that rather than call on the phone or email him.

Loeb described his UAP committee as his own idea, and he described the members, many of whom are in their 40s, 50s, and 60s and have been involved in ufology for years, as composed of "young people" with "fresh" perspectives. Loeb also praised Donald Trump for his sincerely and not so subtly goaded the president by saying Trump would be remembered for "millennia" if he were to confirm the existence of space aliens.

Loeb participated in the podcast with Hal Puthoff, the two chummy as they smiled and joked about what their colleagues described as the interdimensional threat of terror demons that could obliterate humanity at any time. You know, fun times!

Alternately, he meant "it's not wrong" in the Wolfgang Pauli sense.

Yes, that could be what he meant. In case somebody does not know what that expression means, here is its Rational Wiki page.

One can hope it was like when Edwin Easley told Kevin Randle thinking the thing that allegedly crashed in New Mexico in 1947 was extraterrestrial is "not the wrong path."

No, let's go with the your idea that the anonymous executive thought the astronomer spoke nonsense that cannot be incorrect. In this scenario, Lockheed's anonymous former ex executive official could have referred to the company's efforts to retrieve crashed Soviet technology like Jason wrote. Even in that scenario, one could still be led to assume the crashed Soviet technology had secret origins in alien spaceships because plenty of urban legends circulating in fringe media allege the Soviets captured alien flying saucers from outer space for their own effort. Missouri's Representative could have asked the astronomer if Lockheed worked on crashed Soviet technology based on attempts to reverse engineer something online legend says came from somewhere in Sextans and crashed in Bulgaria in 1971. Yes, the same type from Sextans who are more famously said to have crashed in Brazil in 1996. Not sure why the pictures in Dante's book do not match descriptions of the thing in that event. Even in this other alternative scenario, be sure skeptic bunkers can only say it is either wrong or not even wrong, never possible.

I was thinking more that one does not insult one's host by telling him he's spouting nonsense, but Wolfgang Pauli's answer is, under the circumstances, diplomatic.

I'm not opposed to links {i}per se{/i}, but but links-happy posters here keep going back to the Bottomless Well of Nonsense.

It should be noted that Puthoff was/is an Operating Thetan, Level VII and famously endorsed both Ingo Swann and Uri Geller. Somewhere in the Who Taints Whom, Puthoff or Lieb? question there's got to be a drinking game. If there's a pile of shit under the Christmas Tree there's got to be a pony somewhere.

P.S. There IS no evidence that "String Theory is right". How that relates to crackpots is beyond me but I'm beyond caring. May the Beacon pass you by.

Is Donald Trump still feuding with Harvard over antisemitism?

When did the anonymous executive visit the astronomer? Talk of Lockheed Martin reminds me of some famous quotes attributed to Ben Rich who allegedly said, "We already have the means to travel among the stars, but these technologies are locked up in black projects and it would take an act of God to ever get them out to benefit humanity."

Do not want to trust anything written by N. H. who much like J. D. Vance claims to believe all alien life to be demonic and claims UFOs to be the "Coming Great Deception" mentioned in the Bible.

His blog is full of more xenophobic posts demonizing alien life. Here is another more recent example.

Here is another one telling us to watch three videos on this topic.

Yes, it seems crazy and baffling who visits the professor's house. Remember when he said Ukrainian astronomers contacted him. Remember when he and the Pentagon's office's former director wrote a paper about interstellar mother ships carrying probes.

In response to Missouri's Representative, the professor answered, "we have found no evidence String Theory is right."

How does Hal, a proponent of the inter-dimensional hypothesis, feel about that answer? Has Hal changed his opinion on the origins of phenomena? According to your blog, Jason, Hal promoted the idea of UFOs as poltergeists, but on a podcast months ago he repeated claims of four different types of lifeforms. Did something make him change his opinions?

I don't know how you spend your free time Jason. But I can assure you that powerful people showing up to tell me some crazy shit is pretty normal. I just can't prove it, for reasons. If I told you what I learned yesterday it would blow your mind. I suspect most of your regular readers can confirm it's the same for them.
